And?
I make mistakes like that all the time. Like calculating how long the beer supply will last.
So to defend the ridiculously overrated Hawking, NBC decides to BASH Einstein decades later?
“I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals. In such an economy, the means of production are owned by society itself and are utilized in a planned fashion. A planned economy, which adjusts production to the needs of the community, would distribute the work to be done among all those able to work and would guarantee a livelihood to every man, woman, and child. The education of the individual, in addition to promoting his own innate abilities, would attempt to develop in him a sense of responsibility for his fellow-men in place of the glorification of power and success in our present society.”
Albert Einstein, Why Socialism?, 1949 [49]
Einstein thought highly of Vladimir Lenin, saying: “I honor Lenin as a man who completely sacrificed himself and devoted all his energy to the realization of social justice. I do not consider his methods practical, but one thing is certain: men of his type are the guardians and restorers of humanity.”

Well, his biggest mistake is that there is a fundamental incompatibility between relativity and quantum mechanics.
His theory of locality, while it is a nice, pie in the sky sort of thing, is wrong.
Bell showed that either Einstein was right or quantum logic was wrong, and Quantum logic has been proved again and again.
He also proved that there was no “hidden variable” theory that could mitigate the differences between Einstein’s view and quantum logic.
So Einstein was flat out wrong... and God, does indeed, play Dice!
Give Uncle Albert a break. He didn’t have Al Gore and his internet nor computers.
What he did was with pencils, paper, chalk and a blackboard.
Do you think any of our millenials could duplicate that today (except the some India, Red China, or Israel)?
It seems to me that all planetary physics is just edumicated guessing. You can’t ever prove or disprove nuffin.
If the universe is expanding then why have the constellations not gotten out of whack over the last 5,000 years?
And they all led to Global Warming ;-)
Einstein was such a pioneer. The fact that he came up with these answers without being able to check them in the back of the book is really impressive to me.
What an idiot.
//sarc
his hair didn’t make the top three?
inconceivable.
I don’t know what made Einstein so special - my second semester Physics book has all that information. All he had to do was read it.
Never liked Einstein. Arrogant a$$hole.
After Oliver Heaviside corrected Maxwell’s equations due to incorrect assumptions on the part of Maxwell, Einstein refused to credit Heaviside for this work and insisted on calling them Maxwell’s Equations, because Heaviside never went to college and did not have a degree from a university. Heaviside was poor and could not afford to go to college and was self taught. Thus, no degree, so no credit for brilliant work. Einstein would rather give the credit to the idiot who got it wrong.
Why did Albert Einstein marry his cousin?

Can you imagine Einstein in a modern lab today high powered computer systems?
We would probably already have a colony on Mars building a portal for wormhole travel.
Well that settles it, Einstein was just a moron.........
There is some evidence that, in the end, this may turn out to be not wrong.
